Duolingo: A Resource to Stay Away From?
Why you should really think about not using this application, at least for Korean
Applications can be extremely useful in order to make use of small bits of time here and there. You can just take out your phone and there you go, you can study a language.
Both luckily and unluckily, there are thousands of applications available both for iOs and Android, and many can be quite useful but the sheer amount makes it difficult to find the right ones.
Yet, a few have come ahead of the herd and will keep on popping up everywhere whenever you look for an app to learn a language.
One of those is Duolingo.
After years using it here and there and finally one year of consistent daily work, I just finished bringing all the skills at the highest level for Korean and I am left with a taste of disgust for it.
If I am so disgusted by that app, does it mean it was pointless? Not entirely but there are clear flaws in it and you should know those before getting yourself into it.
